Hey guys,I'm trying to buy one of these but I don't know which one is the best value overall.These is gonna be my first SLR camera.Just wondering which one is best for shooting rolling shots,portrait kind of pics.I love taking pics of whatever really,so any input is welcome guys....

Yeah your right, the logical choice is the Nikon, but I'm bit of a brand whore and my dad has always had Canon products since the 60s. Also I'm a sucker for gimmicks ie HD recording. But I'll probably get a dedicated camera for that later on.

Go hold them but I just bought a nikon D90 as my first dslr and love it, easy to hold, shoot, and amazing performance (comparable to a d300 as they have the same sensor, but half the price). That's my recommendation
